I a separate supply of water to be distilled The domestic boller orstorage tank 1 is from the supply of water to the hot water connected tothe hot water tank 4 byzmeans fixtures. M of a short pipe 1 9at thebottom of the boiler The invention also consists in the. novel I'whichpipe 19 connects-with the hot water construction and combination ofparts which tank4 near the bottom of said tank 4, while provides fordistilling water andzsimultanea similar pipe 20 connects the boiler 1with ously heating a separate supply vfor the'hot the hot water tank 4near the top of the said water fixtures. v a y llboiler and tank.Entering the said pipe 20 t i between the boiler 1 and the hot watertank 4 is a pipe 21 which supplies hot water to the domestic hot waterfixturcs,while a cold water supply pipe 22 enters the boiler or storagetank 1 at the top thereof and eX- tends to the point near the bottomthereof 111 such manner that the cold water supply enters the boiler orstorage tank at a point near the bottom thereof. An opening 23 in theboiler 0r storage-tank 1 is arranged near the top thereof.

Having thus described the several parts of the invention its operationis as follows: The water to be distilled passes into the float or feedchambei 5 through the supply pipe 7, and from the chamber5 the waterpassesto the heater 2 through the pipe 9, circle 11 and pipe 8. Theheater 2being supplied in this manner the water entering the heaterpasses into the steam tank 3 through the pipe 14 and-a circulation iseffected between the heater 2 and the steam tank 3 by means of the pipe8 and the pipe 14 at the top of the heater which enters the steam tank 3at the point 15." This circulation is continuous as long as heat isapplied to the heater. and the water. from the heater or steam tank 3cannot pass back tothe feed chamber 5 on account of the circular band 11in the pipe 9 which efiectually traps the water to prevent the hot waterfrom the heater and steam tank 3 from passing through the pipe 9 andinto the feed chamber 5. l/Vhile this circulation between the heater 2and the steam tank 3 is in progress the steam from the heater 2 andsteam tank 3 passes out through the top of the steam tank 3int0 the pipe18 and into the coil 17 which coil is arranged within the hot water tank4 where the steam is cooled and emerges from the bottom of the coil inthe form of distilled water. This distilling process is in continuousoperation as long as the water within the heater 2 is being heated.

Referring to the arrangement which heats the water within the domesticboiler or storage tank 1 it will be seen that the same is suppliedthrough the pipe 22. The water I supply entering the boiler 1 near thebottom thereof a circulation of water 1s elfected through the hot watertank 4 and the boiler 1, the cold water passing through the pipe 19 atthe bottom of the boiler into the bottom of the hot water tank 4 wherethe water in the hot water tank 4 is heated by means oi the steamin thec'oil17 and passes upwardly in the hot water tank 4, out throughthe'pipe' 20 and into the fixture supply pipe 21 or directly back intothe boiler or storage tank 1. When therefore no water is passing outthrough the hot water fixture pipe 21 a continuous circulation of wateris takingv'placej within the boiler or storage tank 1 and the hot watertank 4 and the water is being heated by the steam in the coil 17However,

as soon as any water is drawn through the Xture pipe 21 the same passesthrough the pipe 20 from the hot water tank 4 without first passing intothe boiler or storage tank 1. Consequently the water passes to thefixture pip at the time that it is the hottest which is when itcirculates and reaches the top of the hot water tank 4 since as thewater passes upwardly into the hot water tank 4 it is being continuouslyheated by the steam within the coil 17. It will thus be seen thatrelatively a small quantity of water is always being heated within thehot water tank 4, which small at all times to supply the hot waterfixtures, and being relatively a small quantity the steam within thecoil 17 can quickly heat quantity of water is sufficient in the boileror storage tank 1. Consequently a supply of hot water is at all timesavailable for the hot water fixtures without first passing the waterthrough the heater 2 as it is apparent from and the drawing that aseparate water supply is employed for the hot water fixtures which watersupply never passes through the heater but is heated by means of thesteam from the heater passing through the coil 17 arranged within thehot water tank 4.

Having thus fully described the invention what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 181* A device of thecharacter described comprising a heater, a source of water supply tosaid heater, a steam tank associated with said heater, said steam tankbeing piped to said heater near the bottom of the" said steam tank'andnear the bottom of the said heater and piped to said heater at a pointat the top of said heater and at a point in said steam tank remote fromsaid first mentioned pipe from said steam tank, the same being arrangedso as to effect a continuous circulation of Water through the saidheater and through the said steam tank when heat is applied to the saidheater, a hot water tank associated with said steam tank and pipedthereto at a point at the top of said steam tank and at the top of saidhot water tank, a condensing coil within said hot water tank to whichsaid pipe between the hot water tank and the said steam tank isconnected, the said" coil being arranged in such manner in relatlon tothe steam tank and the heater so as the foregoing description to receivesteam from the said steam tank and from the said heater, a storage tankassociated with said hot water tank, said storage tank being relativelylarger than the said hot water'tank and piped to said hot Water tankat apoint near the bottom of said storage tank and said hot water tank andat a point near the top of said storage tank and said hot water tank, anindependent source of Water supply to said storage tank, said Watersupply being entirely independent of the Water supply to said heater,said independent Water supply to said storage tank entering the saidstorage tank at a point near the bottom thereof in such manner that theWater so entering said storage tank Will pass into said hot Water tankthrough the lower piping connecting the said tWo tanks and will passupwardly of the said hot Water tank and around the said condensing coiland into the said storage tank through the upper piping between the saidtanks in such manner that a continuous circulation is provided betweenthe said storage tank and the said that the Water is delivered to hotWater tank in order to effectually heat the water Within the saidstorage tank, a hot Water fixture supply pipe arranged to receive hotWater from the upper portions of said storage tank and said hot Watertank, the whole being arranged in such manner the said hot Water fixturepipe at a time When the said Water is hottest, substantially asdescribed and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature, in presence of twoWitnesses.
